The older part was built by the Almoravide Youseff ben Tashfin in the 1070 and was updated by Ali ben Yousseff in 1106. In the 17th century the Alouite family dynasty restored and finshed the palace we see today. As it used by the Royal Family and can not be entered by tourists so we will pass by on our bikes.
